H.E.Mansoor Al Mansoori- Reimagining Healthcare, for Abu Dhabi and Beyond Session
Al Mansoori positioned Abu Dhabi as a global test-bed for AI-enabled for real-world health innovation, underpinned by a fully integrated, intelligent health infrastructure, "AI, for us, is not hype, it is a utility. We are accelerating drug discovery by integrating comprehensive data like genotype, phenotype, and information from wearables into an AI-enabled system. This intelligent platform acts as a real-world evidence engine, allowing companies to assess product impact in real-time…Abu Dhabi is a ‘living lab’, and the invitation is open."
Al Mansoori continued, "Every health system needs to have foresight, it is a responsibility. In Abu Dhabi, our intelligence-based system integrates all types of health data into one single platform that gives full visibility…so you can have the pulse of your system at any time."
He highlighted the role of AI Agents within the emirate’s Unified Medical Operations Command Centre (UMOC) in creating foresight and resilience, "the UMOC is the ‘health brain’ of our system. Today, [with AI Agents] we have forty times the manpower of our workforce, detecting incidents in real-time, enabling faster emergency response, care that starts in the ambulance and creating a continuous intelligence loop."
Al Mansoori continued, "Over the past period, our system didn’t pause. We kept going, delivering and accelerating. Abu Dhabi’s long-term plan in health, and in general, is grounded in economic diversification, strategic investment in technology and infrastructure, investing in people, empowered by deep capital reserve."
On the sidelines of the conference, Al Mansoori also met with a select group of leaders in longevity, AI, biotechnology, paediatrics, genomics and investment during a dinner hosted under the Future Health – A Global Initiative by Abu Dhabi platform. The discussion focused on advancing practical models for anticipatory health systems, expanding equitable access to predictive care, and exploring new financing models that prioritise long-term health outcomes.
